"It's Over, Johnny"

     Yeah, 'The Drunken News' is over.  Nothing to read here.  Nothing to see, so just go away.

     I will, as a final gesture, post a picture...

    

     The sign reads, "A Gentleman does not adjust his crotch in public, nor does he ever make a date out of desperation."

     I guess I am a pretty sarcastic bastard, but I had fun posing for this picture.  I let out a big laugh after the picture was taken, right in front of Jasper Blurtzmann, too. 
     Oh well, what can you do?

     The quote comes from an antique book of manners that a bartender wrote on the board.

     There was some confusion about the second part of the line.  Basically, it means that a gentleman does not date below his economic or social class, for example, he does not fuck the maid.  Also implied is that a real gentleman does not sleep with whores in a situation where he can get caught, heaven forbid.  A real gentleman does indeed plan out his liasons, outside of his current zip code.  That is why people take vacations, for god's sake.

     So, thanks again to all those who have read and enjoyed 'The Drunken News'.  It is over for real.  Good-bye.

     You'll have to get your news from somewhere else.  You can always go back to the normal group of people in North Beach who have been talking bad gossip for the last twenty years.  It is okay if they do it, because they don't publish it, but it hurts just as bad, trust me.
